RetClean: Retrieval-Based Data Cleaning Using LLMs and Data Lakes

Summary: RetClean uses retrieval-augmented LLMs over indexed data lakes to produce provenance-aware imputations by retrieving top-k relevant tuples for each dirty record. Supports three modes—cloud LLMs for world knowledge, RAG with data-lake evidence for enterprise tables, and fine-tuned local LLMs for privacy—exposed via a GUI to explore model/trade-off choices.
